Sentiment lacks empathy

So “Pro-gun lobbyists lack empathy”? I can’t think of a more true statement. Also, pro-alcohol lobbyists lack empathy when alcohol is involved in a car accident. And all the people involved in manufacturing cars, buses, trucks and airplanes lack empathy when their products are involved in deaths. People that manufacture baseball bats lack empathy when their products are used in a murder, as seen in a trial going on right now. Lakes causing drownings, lightning strikes, snake bites, peanut allergies, drug overdoses. Need I go on to demonstrate how statements like “Pro-gun lobbyists lack empathy” can be connected to almost anything that could cause a death? But no, instead of opening a conversation or suggesting ways to prevent gun deaths, it’s easier to write misinformed letters to the editor. Never blaming the people, always blaming the object and for God’s sake, lets “save the children”.
